Chapter 228: Breaking through the county seat of Fenyang
The battle at the gate of the city became extremely tragic, one by one the defenders rushed into the doorway, but were hacked to death by more than 100 soldiers who were trapped in the camp, and the casualties of the trapped camp were also quite heavy, in order to hide their whereabouts, they could not carry spears and shields, so that their attack and defense could not play half of their strength, plus some of the recruits who had just joined the trapped camp, the cooperation was not very tacit.
On the official road in the distance, there was the sound of horses' hooves, Lu Bu finally arrived with more than ten cavalry, looked at the bloody battle at the city gate, and rushed directly into the crowd, painting halberds waving like a full moon, touching and dying, and dying next to each other.
Then more than a dozen cavalry arrived and scattered the defenders in the doorway.
"I'm Lu Bu, Gao Shun asked me to pick you up" Lu Bu didn't have time to explain, and revealed his identity, among which Hou Wu knew Lu Bu.
Hurriedly said, "How long will it take for Captain Gao Du to arrive?"
"Half an hour at most, you will rush with me to kill first" Lu Bu saw that in the distance, there were already archers lined up, and hurriedly urged the war horses to kill.
More than ten chess pieces are like tigers entering the flock, and in the formation of five hundred archers, seven in and seven out. ran desperately one by one, and the one or two feathered arrows shot in a hurry were also no longer lethal.
The battle fell into a stalemate again, Lu Bu led the cavalry to retreat into the door hole, and the archers hid on the city wall again, but the archers on the city wall had no way to take the Han army in the door hole.
Time passed little by little, and on the mountain road in the distance, heavy footsteps sounded, and thousands of Han soldiers appeared in front of the city gate, watching the city gate of Fenyang County open, and the corpses in the door hole, Gao Shun's heart fell.
"Rushing into Fenyang City" Thousands of Han troops rushed towards the city gate.
Li Ao of the city wall looked at the Han army swarming into the city gate, knew that the general situation was gone, and ordered the archers to symbolically shoot arrows to block, while he took a thousand soldiers to protect Yang Lin and retreated to the car.
Gao Shun led thousands of soldiers to climb the city wall along the stairs, and the defenders on the city wall saw that the general had fled and had no intention of fighting, so they knelt down and surrendered.
The West City Gate fell, and the people in the city took refuge in their homes, and most of the people in Fenyang City made a living from mining, a few farmed, and some made a living by hunting. Most of the young and strong men in the city are in the west of the city, and there are some women and children in the city, and they are naturally frightened when they see the army entering the city, but fortunately, the army did not rush into the people's homes, but along the official road, directly to the county government.
The county commander Yang Zhen is the second son of the Yang family, heard that the east gate has been breached, hurriedly took his family and ran towards the west city gate, and happened to meet the third son who escaped from the east gate and Li Ao, the guard of the east city gate. Then they gathered together, went out of the west gate and headed for the mine.
In fact, most of the Yang family's troops are in the mines, and the Yang family has dozens of mines of all sizes west of Fenyang, each of which requires a dozen to a hundred and ten soldiers. Of all those who remained in Fenyang County, less than 3,000 remained, and now only 1,500 people left Fenyang County and fled westward.
Fenyang County, occupied by Gao Shun, has always appeased the people and blocked the county government, as for the more than 100 members of the Yang family, all of them were arrested, and the money earned by the Yang family from mining for several generations was also hidden in the mansion, and it was too late to transport it away.
Now the children of the Yang family are only left with some stewards in the mine, as well as the four Yang father and son.
Yang Xuan listened to the advice of his two sons and Li Ao, and his eyes were red.
"This is the new state pastor who wants to destroy my Yang family, why is this. Why, why"
Yang Xuan really couldn't understand what this state pastor thought, the Zhou family said that it would be destroyed. But the Xu family and the Deng family didn't care, his Yang family didn't have too high food prices, and he didn't occupy the checkpoint. It is to mine some iron ore and exchange it for some money, if you want money, you say it, but if you say it, I don't give money, you will attack me again. To be reasonable, my Yang family collected some ore and sold it for money, and I didn't violate that law. Why is that.
Suddenly, Yang Xuan's mind flashed, and he sold for money, and recently the third son said that he had found a buyer for ore. Could it be that there is something wrong with this buyer?
"Yang Lin, you always tell me, who are you going to sell the ore to" Yang Xuan glared at his third son Yang Lin and asked sharply.
He has a total of three sons, the eldest son Yang Ba, who is extremely brave, but his brain is not very bright, but with force, he can help him a lot. The second son, Yang Zhen, was smart and studious, and good at calculation, so he made a county order. As for the three sons, they have become a waste, and they know how to walk dogs and birds every day, and mess with flowers and grass. I didn't know what crazy I was the other day and wanted to sell ore. After the war, their family's ore business was affected, and the mountains of ore made him very worried, and when he heard that his son had found a small buyer, he didn't care and handed him over.
Yang Lin was already frightened stupid, looked at his father again, looked at himself with a fierce face, and suddenly knelt on the ground with weak legs, and said tremblingly.
"It's a merchant from Gohara County...... The child doesn't know either."
"Wuyuan County" Yang Xuan's brows tightened.
"It may be the Huns," Yang Zhen said.
With a "boom", Yang Xuan pulled out the long sword at his waist and pointed at his son and said.
"Who gave you the guts to sell the ore to the Huns"
"No, no, the Huns were killed by one person for a while. It scared away. I searched for a few days in the mountains and didn't see that person, the child really didn't sell ore to the Huns, really, father, you have to believe me" Yang Lin was so frightened that his face turned pale, trembling all over, and he was a little incoherent in his speech.
"It seems that it is because of this matter that the state pastor wants to destroy our Yang family, he will never allow us to sell ore to the Huns, Lin'er, you killed the entire Yang family, do you know?"
"Father, didn't the third brother not sell, as long as we make it clear to the state pastor, the state pastor may open the net."
"It's too late, Fenyang County has been occupied, we can't hold the mine at all, he doesn't have to make any effort to destroy our Yang family, why bother to make extra branches and leave hidden dangers" Yang Xuan sighed and said, the sword in his hand also fell to the ground.
Yang Zhen's face was also ugly, what his father said was right, they had no chance to fight, Fenyang County had been lost, even if the Han army did not come to attack them, as long as the food was cut off, they would be able to hold out for a few days.
"Father, the child is willing to go to Jinyang and meet the state pastor in person, if he doesn't go, he will definitely die, and there is still a chance of life if he goes" Yang Zhen knelt down and said.
"Go, as long as you are willing to let go of the Yang family and promise him all the conditions"
Yang Zhen nodded and headed towards Fenyang County.
The soldier brought Yang Zhen to Gao Shun, who was discussing the attack on the mine with Lu Bu, and heard the soldier report that Yang Xuan's second son Yang Zhen was here, so he asked the soldier to bring it.
"Yang Zhen, I've seen the general," Yang Zhen knelt down and saluted.
